Topic: Wireless Headphones (Read 784 times)

Looking to buy a pair of wireless headphones (noise cancelling not essential) and looking some advice from the nice folk on here. Looking to avoid the in-ear 1's and would prefer on-ear or over the ear

Not looking to break the bank so the likes of Bose and Beats are probably out. Headphones would be used primarily walking to and from work and used when heading out for a run in the evenings.

Sony seem to do some decent 1's and I've came across makes like Bluedio, Kit Sound, AKG and JBL at cheaper prices but unsure if they would be worth taking a gamble on.

Anyone with a pair, had a pair or any knowledge of these would be appreciated. Thanks

Ive had kitsound arenas before and although they are ok, they certainly arent fantastic.

About 8 months ago i got a pair of Bose QC35 IIs and they are one of the best pieces of technology i've ever bought. I use them for commuting etc but ive never taken them on a run so cant comment on that. Cant see it being a problem though.

I'd love a pair of the QCs but can't justify 300+ quid on them. I'm no fan of flying and I found that noise cancelling headphones are a really good help as the block out the changes in engine noise. I bought a pair of Sony ones for about 100 quid but they're still leaky and no comparison to the QCs and Sony MDRs.

Same as my Sony, you could of course use them for gym/running etc but the sweat would destroy the pads.

Iím mad about my headphones and have about 40 pairs from inexpensive to top of the range ones. The Sony MDX 1000 are easily the best value ones I own and are regularly available on Amazon for £150 to £200. Just make sure itís direct from Amazon and not a reseller. Unfortunately mine were broken in a bad car accident in March and I havenít replaced them yet. My dad has the newer version but I prefer the originals and rate them much higher than the QC35ís. The B and W p7 are excellent too but a little more pricey.
